New York is also the center of the world, despite its many disasters. In particular, the central part of the city is bustling. For example, Manhattan, where every inch of land is at a premium, is home to countless top billionaires, skyscrapers, and half of the world's bank headquarters.

As soon as you come to Manhattan, even if you can't afford to buy anything, just looking at it will make you feel extraordinary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are fragrant car beauties and gentlemen in fancy clothes everywhere.

Andrew and Peter's Jason Cafe is located on 64th Street on the Upper East Side, right between the famous Central Park and Broadway, close to New York's 'Gold Coast'. Countless wealthy people live here. Everywhere you can see a lady dressed in noble makeup, a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes, or a few trendy girls walking together.

A gathering place for the rich! That's why Andrew works here.

Although he is paid a mediocre $8 an hour, the tips he receives for each job are much higher than his salary. There was even a time when a beautiful lady (in Andrew's heart) gave him a $100 tip at one time.

Because of the quick dodge from Peter's mouth cannon, the two arrived at the coffee shop a little earlier than before.

"Hey! Andrew, Peter, you two are here so early today. As soon as the two men entered the door, a young girl dressed as a clerk came over to greet them.

The girl's voice is crisp, like a lark, her long light brown hair hangs down naturally, the bridge of her nose is high, and her blue eyes are even clearer, soft, and people can't help but fall into it. However, although the girl has a pair of big eyes that add points, her appearance is not outstanding, and she can only be regarded as eye-catching.

"Yes, in order to avoid Peter's mouth cannon attack, I can't help but speed up my pace." Andrew smiled and replied, "You came early today, Jessica." ”

"Yes, you usually come by stepping on the spot, and sometimes you are even late." Peter finally couldn't hold back and began to speak: "Is there something good about it?" He looked at Jessica exaggeratedly: "Look at the corners of your mouth, you are going to grin behind your ears." ”

"yes!" Hearing Peter's words, the corners of Jessica's mouth widened. Jumping happily like a rabbit: "Congratulations, guys! I've been accepted into an opera crew, and I'll wait for the announcement to start rehearsals tomorrow! I'm going to Broadway! "Speaking of Broadway, the girl's eyes are as bright as diamonds.

Broadway, a name full of magic, this name, I don't know how many young boys and girls with young dreams are attracted to New York every year, looking forward to a glorious tomorrow.

"Wow! Broadway! It seems that we have to sign a few more names with our big stars in advance! "Peter is genuinely happy about what happened to Jessica. Introverted since he was a child, he wouldn't have come here to work if it weren't for Andrew, and in Peter's heart, the relationship with Jessica was even closer than those classmates in high school who didn't talk much.

"It's easy to say, and I won't forget you when the time comes." Hearing Peter's compliment, Jessica pretended to say, "Not only will I sign autographs for you, but I will also take a photo with you." As she spoke, she took out her phone: "Now we can take a picture!" ”

"I'll take a picture!" Peter, an amateur photographer, volunteered to take Jessica's phone and take a picture of the three of them.

"Go to P's pretty spot." After an explanation to Peter, Jessica turned to look at Andrew, "Thanks to Andrew, since he gave me the music notes written by the girl named Butterfly, I feel like I've got the hang of it." That girl is really amazing, where the hell did you meet? ”

"I just picked it up casually." Andrew is also happy that Jessica has embarked on the road to stardom, which means that she will get a lot of attention through her singing. I put so many Japanese comic characters about music and art to different people for free, but none of them succeeded, and I didn't even get out of being an Internet celebrity blogger on YouTube. This has to make Andrew sigh: Sure enough, in the entertainment industry, strength is not as good as luck!

"But if you go to Broadway, you're going to quit?" Peter was quite concerned about this. After all, Jessica is one of his few friends.

"Of course not." Jessica explains, "I can't afford to work on Broadway alone, even though I will have fewer hours to work. ”

"That's right." Peter, having received the answer, went to work happily.

I don't know if the mood will also affect the luck, but from the time the part-time job to the coffee shop closes, the three of them get nearly twice as much consumption as usual.

"Looks like I've been really lucky lately." After work, the three of them put together the tips they received and divided them evenly, noticing that they earned much more than before. Jessica shook the bill and said with a smile.

"I'm stealing fun when I get home, it's a little late today. Let's go back first. Peter looked at the time, then put on his backpack and prepared to go out.

"Okay, little brother." pinched Peter and Andrew's faces: "Why don't you have 21, it's Friday." ”

"If we were 21, you wouldn't be on such good terms with us." After such a long period of contact, Andrew also knows what Jessica is like: "And not to mention Peter, I don't have much time to drink with you." ”

"It's not fun. Forget it, I'm going home too. He shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand at the two: "See you later." With that, she turned and walked away.

"Let's go too." After talking to Peter, he couldn't wait to go home and make up for it. In the past few hours, Andrew clearly felt the thoughts in his body slowly flowing around his body. He felt that his strength had definitely increased several times compared to before.

"Hmm." Peter muttered as he pushed the door open, "It's a little late today, too." If it's too late, Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei will have to worry about it. ”

"You're a good baby."

"Like you're not."

The two walked in the direction of the bus station. But after walking for a few minutes, Peter stopped and shouted, "Oops." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Jessica forgot her phone with me. I didn't return it to her after taking the photo before. Peter said to himself: "She has an interview tomorrow, and she must need a mobile phone." We'll have to send her there, and I remember her house was on 59th Street. ”

"Yes." Thinking about it, Andrew nodded: "Let's go and get back quickly." With that, he walked back.

Walk through the busiest Upper East Side and walk briskly towards 59th Street, from here, there are fewer pedestrians on the road, and even the occasional pedestrians are noticeably faster than they have seen before. Because from here to an area on 34th Street, there's a special name: Hell's Kitchen!

Unlike Manhattan before, as midnight fell, the walls were covered with graffiti, garbage cans, and bearded beggars leaning against the walls...... All of this shows what kind of place this is – a paradise for criminals.

"I'm looking for ...... I remember Jessica's house was around here. Peter, who came here for the first time at night, seemed to be infected by the different atmosphere of the city in the morning and evening. He quickly scanned the buildings on the street, hoping to find Jessica as soon as possible.

"Ah!!h A scream came from the alley near the two men, and Andrew and Peter looked at each other and ran over without hesitation. Because the voice just now is familiar to them, it is Jessica!

Running to the entrance of the alley, and sure enough, Jessica was surrounded by four or five black men in the middle. And because the running movement was so big, Andrew and Peter had just arrived at the alleyway, and almost everyone's attention turned to the two of them.

"Andrew! Peter! Come on! There are ......" Seeing Andrew and Peter, Jessica immediately shouted loudly. But before he could finish shouting, he was kicked to the ground by a big man next to him.

"Want to run? There are no doors! The man who looked like the leader smirked, and then Andrew and Peter realized that there were suddenly two more strong men behind them, and they were being forced into the alley.

"Oh God!" Peter only felt that his legs were trembling now, and he turned his head slightly to look at Andrew, who was still calm: "Andrew, what should we do now?" ”

"Don't be nervous." In the three decades of his life combined, Andrew also encountered such a thing for the first time. It's also false to say that you're not nervous. Although he now has the ability to think, he is still an ordinary person in essence.

"Hey guys, are you going to rob? If yes, we'll give you all the money, it's so dark here, I'm short-sighted, it's just clothes that move, so there's no need to worry about us remembering you...... Yes! Peter was kicked all the way low.

"!" With a spit, the big black man kicked Peter again: "This soft bastard still dares to scold us." I'll tell you, we're not trying to rob this time. Another big man pulled Jessica and pushed her to Peter's side, and finally gathered around Andrew and the three of them, and then the man who seemed to be the leader said, "Don't worry, we won't kill you, we just want to give you a free job." And there's not a single camera on this block, so you don't have to worry about anyone bothering us. ”

'It's over! This is what Peter and Jessica thought at the same time: 'Encounter human traffickers!' ’

"Police!" Andrew suddenly shouted! Subconsciously, everyone looked towards the alleyway. And it was at this moment that Andrew quickly rushed to the nearest big man.

Although there is a thought, this thought cannot be completely controlled freely, and if you maliciously spread your thoughts, Peter and Jessica next to you will definitely be affected.

At that time, Andrew had faith in Peter, but he was not sure what would happen to Jessica after she took the malicious thought. So all he can do now is to let him flow on the surface of his body in order to increase his attack power.

The ability to read is also worthy of being the basic ability of the level 6 world, and the increase in attack power is simply surprising, and he has already come to the first big man without even reacting.

Punch!

Before everyone could react, the big man was knocked into the air, hit the wall more than 1 meter away, and then fell to the death of an unknown person.

Very good!

Calming down, Andrew understood his strength. He is more than capable of defeating everyone.

Thinking like this, he rushed to the next man's side with one step, and then swung a punch into the man's stomach.

Bang!

It's the sound of another man being knocked flying!

Bang!

It's the sound of a pistol!

The bullet from the pistol grazed Andrew's arm, cutting through his clothes and creating a bloody streak on his arm.

Everyone else thought that the bullet missed, only Andrew himself knew, and the bullet hit his mind and was blocked by the mind. But there is no way to completely stop my own thin thoughts. That's why it cut his arm.

"Damn boy! Are you still fighting? The leader held up a pistol to Andrew.

"You bastard!" Peter tried to struggle to get up, but was kicked again by the big man next to him, and Jessica did the same and got the same result.

"Do you want to resist too? Weak chicken! The two big men held down Peter and Jessica, respectively, leaving them with no strength to struggle.

"Looks like your weak chicken friend is a bit backbone, too." The leader looked at Peter, who was being pressed down by his subordinates and staring at him fiercely: "It's a pity that he is still a weak chicken." And you...... Originally, I went to the kitchen to be a blind chef and make lotus root noodles, but now it looks like you're still dead!

As he spoke, he pulled the trigger: "Goodbye, boy!" This is Hell's Kitchen, where even sunlight can't penetrate. ”

"Don't!"

"Stop!"

"Bang!"

Ignoring Peter and Jessica's shouts, the leader shot Andrew in the head without hesitation.
